Statistical edge

Not meaningful: repainting inflates every backtest statistic of this script.

Quality gate

None of the 128 backtests with more than 15 trades passes our quality gate.

Robust score

49/100, below the median of 52 for ranked strategies.

Why repainting matters

A repainting script uses values that were not known when the bar closed. Its backtest trades on that future information, so live results diverge from what the backtest shows, often by a wide margin.
